ConferenceSchedule Problems!

[jlneste]

Is anyone else having the problem of conference schedules? I play as Ohio State offline dynasty and every year I play Penn State and Michigan at there places! Is anyone else having problems with your conference rivals?

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

Saw the same thing as Michigan State. I've only gotten thru the 2nd season so I haven't seen what happens in year 3 yet. But the home/away rotation is definitely screwy.

This is another thing that was 'supposed' to be fixed.

In the words of Lee Corso "Almost doesn't count!"

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

There was a thread about this a while back. The Big 10 and some Pac10 schedules were not working. Adam said in that thread that it was going to be fixed in the patch.

Mountain West schedule is broken too. This completely ruins dynasty for those conferences. Much worse than the progression issue IMO. Frikkin unbelievable.

Boo hoo. If you can't beat crappy Michigan at their place two years in a row as Ohio State then you shouldn't even play as them.

I believe starting in year 3 the cycle starts working correctly, home and away. It's just a minor glitch from year one to two.

I believe the problem isn't that he is afraid of beating Michigan or PSU at their place, but rather the fact that it is completely unrealistic and a problem that hasn't existed in the game for OSU at least since 2003 (the first NCAA EA game I played). Almost the entire Big Ten schedule is wrong for OSU year two (and I am guessing most other teams in the conferences). I enjoy the challenge of playing at Wisconsin or Illinois, or the thrill of playing Michigan and PSU at home, so I don't like waiting until year 3 for something to happen that should have happened a year earlier. I don't really understand where this problem came from at all, it hasn't ever been an issue for me before, and really kills my excitement for a dynasty.

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

I'm at the point on this one that as long as it works itself out in Year 3, then whatever. I tend to play my dynasties for at least 15 - 20 seasons so a one time abberation isn't a big deal to me.

I got no problem taking Michigan and Penn State to the woodshed at their places, I just would like to have the schedule correct. It is nice to have a change of scenery.

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

It affects the Florida-Georgia game, too. While it's at a neutral site every year, the designated home team in years one and two is Georgia, then it rotates.

Florida is supposed to be the designated home team in odd years. So, in year 1 (2009), the designated home team is wrong, but it is correct from there on.

I informed him in a PM a while back that the PAC 10 and Mountain West schedules were broken. He said it's not patchable.

The home-away in the Big 10 being wrong is surprising, but I saw the teams people were supposed to skip were on the schedule. I didn't notice the rotation problem too.

The Show patched their schedule. I'm 99% sure it's patchable, they just don't want to do it because people would have to re-start the dynasty.

Yep, the MWC schedules are broken. Not only does my Utah team play at BYU for the first two years, but after year one the big rivalry game is no longer the last conference game of the season, it always puts TCU after BYU. It may not seem like a big deal, but that game is the marquee game of the MWC and SHOULD be the final highlight of the conference season. More often than not that game will also decide the conference championship. And it pissed me off that it it broken.

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

I would be more sympathetic to Utah's schedule being off, but Oregon State's schedule has been broken for several years. It's unbelievable this is still broken. Worse is they tried to tell me that it was just a mistake made last year, even though it was about the 4th year.

Really? By now its getting to the point where it is unbelievable if it is fixed.

Re: ConferenceSchedule Problems!

Does the schedule for these conferences rotate, as normal, after the first 2 years or stay the same?
